Notes

LEOPOLD MOZART: SYMPHONIES

This is the latest release in the Contemporaries of Mozart series, one of Chandos’ longest running recording projects. That all these symphonies here receive their premiere recording seems strange given Leopold Mozart’s status as a well-known composer in his own right. In his day he was highly regarded as a violinist, teacher and composer and held a respected position at the Court in Salzburg, quite apart from being the father of the genius that was Wolfgang Amadeus. His style, which is that of an older generation than his son’s, shows clear progress towards sonata form. These charming and stylish symphonies deserve to be more widely heard. Matthias Bamert conducts the London Mozart Players.

Reviews

The outstanding Chandos series ‘Contemporaries of Mozart’ already numbering some 20 CDs, reaches new ground with this issue of six symphonies by Mozart’s father. What is more, none of them have been recorded before, and they are all well worth getting to know… The performances are first class, with precise string articulation and neatly balanced wind detail. It’s clear that Bamert enjoys and admires Leopold Mozart’s symphonies from this warmly recorded disc, lovers of eighteenth century byways will also find rewards and lasting pleasure.

International Record Review

More courtly in style than the symphonies of Mozart Jr, the six works recorded here – performed with thoughtfully deployed energy by the London Mozart Players – display much of the effortlessness and poise associated with the Mozart name, some moments proving utterly transporting.

The Observer

Matthias Bamert and the London Mozart Players programme of Leopold Mozart symphonies reveals a deft musical craftsman whose works are graced by genial melodies animated by an exuberant ‘esprit de coeur’ and imbued with the intimacy of chamber music…. Suave polished performances, and the virtuoso horn playing deserves mention.
